mild parallax spoilers; torturing my children 

I'm sorry, Kurt. I didn't WANT "Warm Leatherette" to come up on the playlist when I started planning out your action scene, but what's done is done, and there was always a bit of JG Ballard hero to you to begin with. Please take comfort in knowing that I love you, Noah loves you, you're gorgeous, you will live again, and you will leave a HELL of a sexy smear across the control panels.

not quite sure how to describe my current mood. just pretty sure that:

(a) it doesn't have a word in english
(b) whatever word it does have, has a high consonant-to-vowel ratio
(c) it would serve as a suitable onomatopoeia for mud

something like "pflundj," "splurgh," "blarnf," or "ghlendtsch."

i don't really care for it

(Also, if you happen to see anything except a failed search for "Produkty" right over a building labeled "Produkty," you'd be doing me a huge and very practical favor if you'd let me know. :) )

God, I love sending bug reports to Google Maps. It feels so neighborly, so cordial, and yet so passive-aggressive. >:D

But look at this shit. This is why I have to giggle at people who try to navigate without ever looking up from their phones. Google literally can not see things that are RIGHT THERE. goo.gl/maps/a1Jf7gfUdBt

You know, I was having a painful enough bout of nostalgia tonight. I'm not sure I really needed for my old workplace in Boston to come up as a task item at my current job. *facepalm*

Our story had a happy ending. Seattleites, Taste of the Caribbean is fucking delicious. If I'd been able to get dessert on top of all that jerk chicken and rice, I would have surely died.

A bit of research reveals that, if this restaurant's concept of "Jamaican rum cake" is remotely authentic, I had ordered-- and nearly received-- a FRUIT CAKE.

You know. Like, with... raisins and... fruit and stuff. *full body shudder*

The delivery gods are kind and merciful. I dodged a bullet tonight.

The delivery gods have denied me my dessert and I'm all pouty about it. The cosmos owes me one (1) Jamaican rum cake and by god I'm going to get it.


horror media 

Season 1 of Channel Zero took a faintly wacky creepypasta about a fake kids' show and made it into a gripping, grotesque tale of transformation, sacrifice, and sibling love turned corrupt.

Season 2 took an over-the-top haunted house story off the Web and turned it into a harrowing story of parental loss and entrapment in a painful past.

Season 3 took a choppy ghost story about staircases in the woods and made it about schizophrenia and dirty small town politics.

I fear Season 4.

mood (-), transhumanism, braining 

I wish I had Finn the Human's vault.

mood (-), transhumanism, braining 

This is one of those days I really wish we were about 50-100 years further ahead in our understanding of identity. I am absolutely longing for Applied Multiplicity technology.

Specifically, I wish I could assign one of my cold, practical subpersonalities to power through work, while I have a nice long nap in my Memory Palace, curl up with my vague recollection of lost stuffed animals, and cry a whole lot.

Or just lock up a whole section of the Palace for good.

Looks like that Jeppson's Malört is arriving today, thanks to my sadistic girlfriend. That's not the mood [-] part, I signed on for her quite knowingly. XD

This seems appropriate, since apparently there's a Chicago tradition of drinking a shot of Malört to absolve yourself of past mistakes.

_That's_ the mood part.

Let's hope it works, 'cause today I'm all out of other ideas. And I'd really like to forget the past seven years in Seattle and move on with my life.

I am explaining the midwestern lawn sport of "cornhole" to a stunned and wary Redditor. I entered this exchange thinking I was advancing the causes of human knowledge and universal camaraderie, but now I think I may have just frightened the poor bastard. awoo.space/media/Uxl73NkXy6tAH

Answer: not on a daily basis, but it's fascinating just once. It's a Chemex cup of something Guatemalan, and it tastes kind of... hollow but in a good way? Like the difference between Hershey's syrup and a light creme de cacao. Definitely less sharp and bitter.

I was mostly curious if it could make a good natural focus drug for @anthracite, who needs some Go Juice but hates drip coffee. Sadly, I think you still wouldn't go for it. I think it's more bitter than you'd like it...
